Study the posts layout requirements. 

First, study the posts layout requirements. Spend some time planning, yourself, so you are fully familiar with the final size you 

desire for your poergola.Determine the exact location for each pergola post based on your pergola size. We have designed our 

pergola systems to eliminate the need to cut any 4x4 post or header members. Plan accordingly to minimize your work 

requirements. 
Mark each post location using wood stakes or bright colored spray paint. Remeasure and verify the proper location for each post.
